Cantonese Suckling Pig (Kao Ru Zhu) Roast Tradition
Guangdong Province — ceremonial tradition
Roasted suckling pig is the centrepiece of Cantonese ceremonies — weddings, business openings, festival banquets, grave-sweeping (Qingming). The whole pig, 3–5 kg, is marinated with five spice, fermented tofu, hoisin, and Shaoxing wine, then roasted in a dedicated oven over lychee wood for 2+ hours, basted constantly. The skin blisters into cracking 'glass skin' (jou pei) or 'milk skin' (nai you pei).
